Description
Miss Molly Butterfly Bush brings a stunning splash of vivid, magenta-pink flower clusters to the landscape from midsummer through early fall.

General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct light per day for the finest flower production.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soils; amending heavier soils with organic matter helps boost drainage and overall health.
- Watering: Water regularly during the establishment period. Once mature, it endures short dry spells but rewards consistent moisture with more magnificent blooms.
- Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps maintain soil moisture and regulate temperature; leave a small gap around stems for airflow.
- Pruning: Cut back to approximately one-third of its height in late winter or early spring to encourage strong new growth and abundant flowering.
Miss Molly Butterfly Bush provides a beautiful, grand statement in Michigan landscapes, pairing gorgeous color and a delightful fragrance for an inspiring summer display.
